New Page Reviewer
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg/80px-Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg.png)
Hello EvergreenFir. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.
- URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog (around 15,000 pages) down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
- Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
- Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
- Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Pioneer Cabin Tree
On 29 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pioneer Cabin Tree, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that cars once drove through the Pioneer Cabin Tree (pictured), which drew thousands of visitors annually? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pioneer Cabin Tree. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Pioneer Cabin Tree), 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.

Sock investigation: Your call
Regarding the recent "discussion" about Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations G10: I just wanted to clarify that at the time I was not accusing User:2600:1:b11b:69aa:48ea:4e45:ffce:6c7 of being a sock of User talk:DaddyDonnyTrump. The mention of the latter blocked user was just an example, a stab in the dark. If you would like to open a Sock investigation into either 2600:1:b11b:69aa:48ea:4e45:ffce:6c7 or his homie User talk:66.87.64.138 based on those 12 miles, go ahead, I'll testify or whatever. I'm not going to push it to the Noticeboards because I have never conducted a Sock investigation before, and don't know how, except pointing out that several IPs are doing the exact same thing and answering for each other. Thanks for your time L3X1 My Complaint Desk 15:09, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- @L3X1: I didn't think you were accusing them of socking, but that the IP claimed they were not a sock without prompting was curious. The 12 mile thing was just a remark about the likelihood that they were indeed the same user. I don't think an SPI is needed though right now. If disruption continues, then maybe so.

Removal of Anti Science is NOT an OPINION.
Hi,
Kindly refrain from entering arenas of discussion that you know nothing about. Self-elected administrators need not apply here. All of you losers have nothing else going for you in your life, so you project your own opinion onto actual scientists.
PS The only opinion here is yours, based on non-falsifiable unscientific material. I repeat again, I will tolerate no set consensus, but I will not tolerate any anti-science pertaining to bunk social fantasies that make everybody a shine little clone of each other. People are not the same, get over it. If you need to, I cna show you the sources.

Doug Weller talk is wishing you Seasons Greetings! Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's Solstice or Christmas, Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus or even the Saturnalia, this is a special time of year for almost everyone!
Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:WereSpielChequers/Dec16a}} to your friends' talk pages.
Kevin De Leon
Good morning. I saw that you reverted my edits to Kevin De Leon, on the ground that the sources provided appeared not to be credible. However, that is a mistaken assumption on the part that my two additional sources were meant to play. The video was by a user with a comical name; however, the clip was authentic, and the evidence it gave was undoubtedly true (although I will search for an alternate provider of the video). Regardless of the author's name, the veracity of the video is, at this moment, unquestionable. The other source provided was meant to show that AB60 is referred to as the "sanctuary state bill", not to say anything with regard to DeLeon. Additionally, my edits amounted to more that just the parts for which I provided the above sources. For these reasons, I will go back and revert your cancellation of my edits. Please respond on my page if you feel the need to cancel them again. Thank you, Ephraimhelfgot
PS: With changes, of course, to make it appear more dignified

New Page Review - newsletter No.2
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg/120px-Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg.png)
- A HUGE backlog
We now have 799 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/New_Pages_backlog_2016_-5_Feb_2017.jpg/350px-New_Pages_backlog_2016_-5_Feb_2017.jpg)
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
- Second set of eyes
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
- Abuse
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
- this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
- this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
- This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.
Coordinator election
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Possible Sockpuppet?
I personally don't know if all of these people are connected, nor do i know if i have enough evidence to actually declare this a sock puppet case, I would appreciate your opinion, as of now 1 account and 2 IP's have been doing the exact same edit, here is an edit from each account on the topic i'm telling you about,
Opopomud- Here is the first one (its an in-wiki page) 79.47.77.161- 2nd One (In-Wiki) 80.117.103.93- 3rd and most recent one (Also In-Wiki)
All of these are on one article, here are some from another article (Same edits, Same Topic, And Same Users)
Opopomud- Same user as above (Also In-WIki) 79.47.77.161- Same user as above...... (Also In-Wiki)
I Believe that these are the only articles affected by these users, anyways I would appreciate it, if i would receive your opinion I.E if this seems connected, and I.E if this is worthy of a sock puppet case.
Also, I came to you in this instance because you reverted some of these edits. Thank you and have a nice day! Wikipediauser123456 (talk) 21:53, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Wikipediauser123456: They certainly look like the same person from their behavior. Both IPs geolocate to Italy. I would recommend starting a sockpuppet investigation over at WP:SPI. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:58, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Why are you stalking me
It seems that you have it out for me and are trying to get me banned. I am returning and am trying to learn the edit, but your behavior seems in appropriate especially the threats about banning me for vandalism. Ryanfinlayson1 (talk) 20:44, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

- Threatening people with bans for adding content that is content neutral isn't the best way to deal with new users. You should send them a notice about where to go instead of false flagging for vandalism. Vandalism has a bad connotation. So accusing me of vandalism when my editing is not out of malicious intent seems counter productive for free speech is it not? Ryanfinlayson1 (talk) 20:57, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- From Wikipedia:
- "Disruptive editing is a pattern of editing that may extend over a long time or many articles, and disrupts progress toward improving an article or building the encyclopedia. Disruptive editing is not vandalism, though vandalism is disruptive. Each case should be treated independently, taking into consideration whether the actions violate Wikipedia policies and guidelines. (If an editor treats situations that are not clearly vandalism as such, that editor may harm the encyclopedia by alienating or driving away potential editors.)
- Disruptive editing is not always intentional. Editors may be accidentally disruptive because they don't understand how to correctly edit, or because they lack the social skills or competence necessary to work collaboratively. The fact that the disruption occurs in good faith does not change the fact that it is harmful to Wikipedia." Ryanfinlayson1 (talk) 20:59, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Black Supremacist article edits
Hello EvergreenFir!
First of all, I want to thank you for informing me of the 3 revert in 24 hours rule. Good to know.
In the future, you might want to indicate WHY you are reverting a revert; you simply reverted my revert without explaining why (fortunately user clpo13 did).
As for your assertion that I made a personal attack on an editor by referring to the editor as an activist editor, I can see how one might interpret my remark as a personal attack but that actually was not my intention.
In the future I will choose my words differently, and rather than refer to someone as an activist editor, explain why someone appears to be an activist editor.
I can appreciate why that is important.
That said, as I'm sure you know, the concept of an activist editor is actually something acknowledged to exist by Wikipedia. So the term is not necessarily a personal attack in and of itself, though I agree that it ought not be invoked without carefully explaining why you suspect one may be an activist editor.
Otherwise it is indistinguishable from an ad hominem attack.
You have a valid point there.
In any event, regardless of what you may think about me is my edits or my intentions here, I'm actually grateful for your comments.
It's actually very helpful advice.
Thanks! CannotFindAName (talk) 00:34, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- @CannotFindAName: thanks for the message! Not to be too pedantic, but I double checked and I did give a reason in the revert ([1]). I've been trying to be better about giving reasons (takes more time but generally worth it). Just wanted to point it out. Cheers! EvergreenFir (talk) 04:20, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

RE: "IP hopping vandal"
This is a mobile (AT&T) address, in use intermittently by numerous individuals. Tossing ad hominem onto its talk page will not accomplish anything. A shared IP block with a tag for suggesting account creation should suffice without having to accuse every new user who hops on the range of vandalism. 2600:387:2:813:0:0:0:AE (talk) 06:49, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
I saw your report at AIV, but I'm not really sure what we can do. The IP has a final warning, so it doesn't seem likely that further warnings will be productive. It's not exactly high-rate vandalism, averaging about an edit per day, and not all obvious vandalism. So a block would have to be on the long side to prevent much. I'm pretty reluctant to indef an IP, or to hand out a month-long block as their first. Any ideas? GoldenRing (talk) 08:17, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
- @GoldenRing: Honestly not really... one of those consistent but slow moving vandals. With the ridiculous amount of vandalism the WP:TV project pages attract, I'm admittedly less nuanced in my approach to vandals there simply due to sheer volume. If you think that a block won't do much here, I won't disagree. I will keep an eye on their edits though and see if it continues. :) EvergreenFir (talk) 19:09, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

You removed referenced information and new citations
Two days ago, I spent an hour adding citations that were missing from Wikipedia's "Shooting of Terence Crutcher" page and adding additional information.
After finishing, I received this message from you: "Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted."
I lost my hour and all of my helpful edits because you decided that you did not want them. I presume that you did not actually look at them because, if you had, you would have seen that all of them were sourced with references.
I am an Oklahoma attorney who is intimately familiar with the facts and sources of information pertaining to the content that I was editing. I presume that you are not.
You have done a disservice to Wikipedia and to everyone who uses the "Shooting of Terence Crutcher" page for information.
On a side note: I'm glad that I'm not you. You must live a sad life if you spend it "policing" Wikipedia.

- @209.213.139.15: As an attorney I'm sure you understand the importance of rules, procedures, and proper presentation of evidence. To speak you're jargon, you added prejudicial information, i.e., information that presents an undue negative narrative and was, at the very least, unnecessary for a reader's understanding of the event. Just as with rape shield laws, you cannot bring in (mis)leading tangential information into the article to paint a skewed picture. For Wikipedia's rules on this, see WP:WEIGHT.
- I'm concerned that as an attorney "
intimately familiar with the facts
" surrounding this case, you may have a conflict of interest. If so, please read that linked page. - Last, my sad life on Wikipedia is a hobby. While I take it seriously and enjoy it, I don't take it personally. I suggest you do the same. EvergreenFir (talk) 02:22, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Violence against women
Why?--Blanca Lap (talk) 19:20, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Because GBV is about either (1) violence rooted in misogyny or (2) violence that disproportionately or exclusively affects women and girls. It's not just any violence that occurs against women. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:25, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, it's the type of violence that occurs to women for being women.--Blanca Lap (talk) 19:27, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- By removing the "predominantly or exclusively" part, the sentence rads as if any violence that affects women is GBV though. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:30, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Discretionary Sanctions Notification for Paraphilia and Transgender Issues
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding transgender issues and paraphilia classification (e.g. hebephilia), 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. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system.

Please be more circumspect in your redactions. Here you redacted a direct quote from the L.A Times. The individual is not named so WP:BLP1E does not apply. James J. Lambden 🇺🇸 (talk) 05:53, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- The user really should include the source in the talk page comment, but I guess they're referring to a source on the page so it's close enough. Given their behavior, however, I'm concerned about blp-toeing counts like that. Revert me if you like, I won't complain. The first redacted comment, though, seems more clear cut. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- Agreed. A related issue: I raised concern today at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard after an editor repeatedly described a journalist (whom he named) as a "neo-Nazi." The editor provided no source for that claim despite requests. Can you review it? The editor has recently reverted my removals and I'd rather not exacerbate the situation. James J. Lambden 🇺🇸 (talk) 06:01, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

That said, I have to agree with you and the other user (forgetting name and hard to go back on phone) that the phrasing is a BLP vio. The original wording about visiting stormfront wasn't an issue, but applying that label without referring another RS is. Just my opinion. I think the final comment on that section is a good one though; at this point but much else can be done on the RSN and it would be time to move to a different venue to address the issue.

Geo Stubs
Thank you. What one would I add, to add a page to the list of rivers in New York. Also what stub would be added for Lake pages? Thanks for your help. Tripp155 (talk) 17:46, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Tripp155: My understanding is that you just add a stub template for the county, regardless of the body of water type. I think you'd be able to find them all in Category:New_York_geography_stubs and then look under the regional categories like Category:Central New York geography stubs for the appropriate county. The typical formatting is {{FUBARCountyNY-geo-stub}} but replace FUBAR with the county name.
- There's also categories you can add to the page like Category:Lakes of Herkimer County, New York. For lakes, the generic category is Category:Lakes of FUBAR County, New York. You can find a list of those categories in Category:Lakes of New York by county. For rivers, it is similar. The list of categories is at Category:Rivers of New York by county and follows the same pattern of Category:Rivers of FUBAR County, New York.
- I updated Woodhull Lake (New York), Perch Lake (New York), and Allen Lake (New York) that you can use as examples. Also, the articles talk pages can all have the same WikiProject templates copy-pasted on them for the lakes. Just change the Lakes project to Rivers if the page is a river. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:03, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- The syntax for the talk pages for lakes would be:
- {{WikiProject Lakes|class=stub|importance=low}}
- {{WikiProject New York|class=stub|importance=low}}
- For rivers, it would be:
- {{WikiProject Rivers|class=stub|importance=low}}
- {{WikiProject New York|class=stub|importance=low}}

This was already PRODed, so I suggest you de-PROD before someone makes a deal out of it :) Best,Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 19:17, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Nicnote: To the best of my knowledge, BLPPROD still applies because there are still no reliable sources (or any sources) in the article about a BLP. I understand that normally when a PROD is challenged, you have to go to AFD. But BLPPROD has a criteron that must be met before it can be removed. That criterion has not been met. The author of the page inappropriately removed the BLPPROD in this edit. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:21, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- From WP:BLPPROD:
"Only add a BLPPROD if there are no sources in any form that name the subject, but once (properly) placed, it can only be removed if a reliable source is added."
No reliable sources were ever properly placed after the original BLPPROD was made. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:23, 4 May 2017 (UTC)- @EvergreenFir: I understand and I appreciate your time taken to respond. I would imagine that given the editor keeps on removing tags and PROD notices, WP:AfD might be a better venue for this. Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 19:27, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

I think you should revert that edit since the sources are outdated and the viewpoint offered is too narrow. The edit homoeuropeeans made was acceptable. Lightisthere (talk) 18:42, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

- On the 19th May, you Undid revision 780633251 by Homoeuropeean. The source is poor and the edit made the text more inclusive as those countries aren't the only countries with Hijra - in fact Hijra don't form a integral aspect of their culture in the same manner that it does in places like Sri Lanka. While the sources are generally poor for the topic, I suggest that the more "broad" terms used by homoeuropeeans is better suited and less controversial.

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on
This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
- 15 June 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
- 31 December 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion in infoboxes.
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
- Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.
Technology update:
- Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
- The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
- User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
- User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through
General project update:
- Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project. To keep up to date on the most recent discussions you can add it to your watchlist or visit it periodically.

Maybe you should learn how to understand instead of attack
Hey revert warrior. You are a dime a dozen. You don't contribute anything. You are a self-appointed censor. I'm sure this fits your IRL mentality about how you like to be treated. Cut it out. Harassment isn't nice.
- Adding things you think are related but are not supported by sources or consensus is not okay. Go to the article's talk page, not my user page. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:51, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Something similar ought to be "see also" or "redirect". I did not expound on anything with OR POV. You ought to quit controlling the narrative only for your own narrow view. You yourself do not decide total consensus.
- And I'll add that saying here that "You don't contribute anything. You are a self-appointed censor. I'm sure this fits your IRL mentality about how you like to be treated" is absolutely unacceptable and against Wikipedia's civility policy. Please respect EvergreenFir's wishes that you express your concerns on the article's talk page, and refrain from any further personal attacks. Any more of this will result in a block. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:57, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi
Thanks for your message. I have observed that the user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/OPamuk1967b is editing Wikipedia to promote articles by "Franz Lidz" of Smithsonian Magazine. Most times this is in the introduction but other times further down. Please address this if you will!

Deleting My Comments Is Censorship
I see you delete my comment on the race and intelligence article. Just because I don't agree with your opinions about race doesn't mean you have to right to censor me. What I said was very relevant to the article in question because it stands in direct conflict with the theories of Richard Lynn, the Century Foundation, etc. It suggest there's either some fraud going on(a common accusation against Lynn and other race and intelligence researchers) or some error. You may not want to admit that studies from self proclaimed white nationalists aren't reliable, but this is Wikipedia. 107.77.164.46 (talk) 22:51, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Misleading Indian educational attainment and bachelor degree percentage
The percentages of the Bachelor degree and educational attainment for Indians was 2000 and 2010 is 67.9% and 71%. Other wikipedia pages also show the same percentage decade ago show similar percentages

And pre-2015 this was also the percentages for Indian bachelor degree and educational attainment.

Lists of terrorist incidents
Most of these lists include the wording "including attacks by violent non-state actors for political motives" (I saw one that included 'religious motives' and something else, but didn't keep the url). That seems just plain wrong and sometimes a BLP violations. What do you think and if you agree, is this an NPOV issue or NOR? Please ping me when you reply. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 11:59, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- I think it's 100% OR to include that. And frankly I'd like the rule to be that the source must call the incident terrorism. Just because it was perpetrated by revolutionary, insurgent, secessionist, or other quasi-political groups like ISIL, Hezbollah, FARC, etc. doesn't make every act they do "terrorism". The entire series of articles needs revamping IMHO, but last time I tried to do anything I got shut down. Perhaps a VP discussion is needed. EvergreenFir (talk) 16:56, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Apologies for noticeboard duplicate/collision
Sorry I didn't notice the edit conflict; thanks for reporting the edit warrior on Gender dysphoria. Funcrunch (talk) 05:52, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Funcrunch: Sorry about the bulldozing of your report. I added a link to it in the AN3 report. Looks like you added the report right after the IP blanked by original one. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:53, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Ah, the blanking must be why I didn't see your existing report when I filed mine. Well, hopefully they'll get blocked soonish. Funcrunch (talk) 05:55, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
I blocked the IP for 24 hours. You also broke 3RR on this article; consider yourself fortunate to not get blocked too. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 06:09, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: seemed like vandalism at that point to me which is 3RR exempt. I've yet to see someone blocked for cleaning up after a nuisance. This went beyond a content dispute. Their revert at AN3 made that clear enough. If I'm mistaken in my interpretation, let me know. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:15, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- No edits I looked at suggest the editor was deliberately trying to make Wikipedia worse, and all of them gave me the impression they sincerely thought they were doing the right thing. After all, isn't it rather POV to suggest somebody experiences distress over gender dysphoria? Genesis P. Orridge doesn't seem to have had a problem with it. Additionally, the IP's first edits gave a clear indication what they were doing in the edit summaries and you reverted them without any reasonably indication why. So I don't think you can claim WP:3RRNO on this. However, in pragmatic terms, I believe once I've told you "you went 6RR on this article, stop it", you'll leave the article alone and do something else. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 06:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: I'll leave it alone. But you're incorrect that I didn't give an explanation on my revert. Since you did some research on it though, maybe you'd like to add to the article though I'm not seeing how Genesis P. Orridge relates to the general understanding of the topic. Perhaps the two other editors who reverted the IP multiple times (Jim1138 and Funcrunch) might be able to make to make connection I'm missing. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:38, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Independent of the number of reverts EvergreenFir made and whether or not they were justified, the IP's blanking of their report at the 3RR noticeboard was a clear indication of bad faith, in my opinion, as was their snarky "you all need to stop edit-warring" comment (made at around 7 or 8RR). I also don't see how Genesis P. Orridge relates to the discussion at hand. Funcrunch (talk) 06:45, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- What does P-Orridge have do do with the gender dysphoria article? Credentials? The IP seems to be quite familiar with Wiki-lingo, I doubt that this is the IP's first disagreement. Jim1138 (talk) 07:00, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 06:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
The version you reverted (preferred by the IP) said gender dysphoria "is a psychological condition wherein a man or a woman experiences a different gender identity than the gender which is typically determined by their sex", while the version you restored (preferred by you) says "is the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth.". Gen PO was the first example I could think of of somebody who changed gender without so much as a "meh" from people (as far as their article potrays, at least). So I personally prefer the IP's version of the first sentence. In any case, you made six reverts [4][5][6][7][8][9] in about 90 minutes, which is edit-warring, whichever way you slice it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:07, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- FWIW Ritchie, the "distress" part is part of the definition of dysphoria. To have a dysphoria diagnosis you need "significant distress or problems functioning," per the DSM-5. It is distinct from gender nonconformity - the distress/impairment is why it's called a "disorder," after all. Fyddlestix (talk) 11:12, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: the underlying problem with the IP's edits we that it was a thinly veiled attempt at the "there are two genders" vandalism. That's why they choose the "man or woman" language and tried to use did nonsense ref to the WHO. This was bad faith add demonstrated by the reverts on AN3 and the blanking of the user's talk page. EvergreenFir (talk) 13:22, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- I agree with what Fyddlestix and EvergreenFir said here. Also, even if the IP's initial edits were in good faith, they failed to follow the WP:BRD cycle which is good practice on a controversial subject like this one. They were bold, they were reverted, they failed to discuss (even after explicit invitations to do so). There was actually recent discussion on the talk page about revisions to the lead, started during the time when the article was semi-protected; they could have contributed to that rather than repeatedly reinstating challenged edits. Funcrunch (talk) 14:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- I admit that I went past 3RR and felt that was okay given the IP's behavior. Ritchie clearly disagrees. I'll be more careful in the future. EvergreenFir (talk) 14:03, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- It was another thinly-veiled attempt to rewrite the article to be two genders only. Vandalism which seems all too common on Wikipedia. More support needs to be given to editors removing this sort of thing. Jim1138 (talk) 19:52, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- I don't mind people disagreeing with my views (heck, if we all agreed on everything, it would be disastrous if we were all in fact wrong), but it isn't vandalism. Call it disruptive, POV pushing, abusive, tendentious ... but you can't prove the IP did it to deliberately screw Wikipedia up. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:40, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

- Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
Technology update:
- The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225
General project update:
- On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.

Sexism citation language edit
Hi there EvergreenFir, I thought I should further explain my edit in Sexism that you reverted. The issue I had was that the citation did not back up the statement. The statement was ... it is particularly documented as affecting women and girls.
The citation discussed usage of the term by references and scholars rather than particular documentation of it affecting girls/women.
So alignment with the statement is the issue. Citations of it's primary usage don't document it's affect. Do you have a suggestion for improving it?
Mention of terrorism in sources.
Hello,
I saw that you deleted the West Bank shooting because there was no mentioning of terrorism in the source. Indeed, the article from the BBC didn't mention the word 'terrorism', but other articles sure did. I've now put a new source to the list of terrorist incidents that mentions terrorism, but for next time, could you please put a litte more effort in finding a source that mentions terrorism before deleting the whole incident? For this incident there are plenty of sources citing an Israeli spokesperson calling the incident an 'act of terror'. In general, I do agree with your way of handling since many incidents are put on the list that aren't actually terrorism. But for the larger and more 'significant' attacks, could you do a bit more effort in finding better sources and replacing the once that do not meet the requirements?
Thank you. JBergsma1 (talk) 21:25, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- @JBergsma1: For wikilinked events, sure, I'll try looking for sources next time. You're right that I should have in this case. The issue with improperly sourced entries on these lists is such a problem though I admit to getting exhausted verifying them all let alone trying to find better sources. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:41, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- @EvergreenFir: Thank you, I appreciate that you endeavour to make wikipedia as reliable as possible when it comes to placing reliable sources. But for fellow Wikipedians, sometimes deleting material without improving it might cause a little bit of backlash among other users that have been working on the article. So it would be nice to discuss these issues on the talkpageJBergsma1 (talk) 22:00, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- @JBergsma1: I realized that and had started a general discussion at Talk:List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_September_2017#Verification_Failed. There's even some discussion about this general issue at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Proposal_regarding_WP:OR_and_terrorism. I'd love your input there. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:06, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- @EvergreenFir: I know that there are discussions taking place about these issues. I participated in one of them myself a year ago. But the problem is that many users are not aware of these discussions taking place or simply don't feel the need to read all arguments that are being made due to the lengthiness of these discussions. I've had this experience myself. It might work, however, to discuss the sources used on the list of terrorist incidents talk page. If you simply state on the talk page that a given source doesn't mention terrorism and other sources don't mention it either, then no one can say you're wrong about removing the incident.JBergsma1 (talk) 23:00, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Why did you revert my cited material from List of monuments and memorials of the Confederate States of America? And why did you call it OR? Please explain your rationale – in depth. Mojoworker (talk) 06:01, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- You essentially made a warning to the reader based on your analysis of the article and image. Your concern about mismatched scope between the article and image is a legit one, but your solution seemed POINTy. Might I recommend you adjust the caption or include a footnote to indicate what the chart includes or defines as a "monument" instead? EvergreenFir (talk) 06:05, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

WorldCreaterFighter and a related long-term abuser
Thank you for your efforts to stop persistent sockpuppetry. Please see WP:Tirgil34, a related/similar case. The sockmaster is very active nowadays and as mentioned by an user here, he is probably a paid vandal. Many editors filed SPI cases and more than a hundred socks has been banned but the problem still continues. The last week, his sock vandalised a page with outdated (sources from 1800s, 1600s), unreliable sources and has been banned[10]. And his another sock, Hoze.amar has also been blocked on Wikipedia Commons just a 2 weeks ago. But the blocks do not work because the sockmaster is still active! [11]. See the edits by old socks: [12][13]. These pages hadn't been vandalised for a long time, but then, suddenly and dubiously has become the targets again by various "new" users. It is not a coincidence, for sure. The sockmaster has been actively socking for years. I think it is because only a few editors pay attention to this case, unfortunately. Therefore, I wanted to inform you about this long-term abuser, since you did an applaudable work on a similar case. Thank you. 5.165.200.153 (talk) 22:15, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Reminder to reply on the last question in Talk:Circumcision#Where to write on "Forced circumcision of children"?
Yes, I know about Wikipedia’s “NO Original Research” policy. I will be providing references for my writing.
About your suggestion in the talk page discussion to write on this under Category:Violence against men, my question is that, under what article can I write on this? Can I create a new article Forced circumcision of children? Or can I write on this in existing Forced circumcision or Circumcision articles?
As you can see, currently neither of the Wikipedia articles, whether Forced circumcision article or Circumcision article talks about forced circumcision of children.
Please review the full discussion at Talk:Circumcision#Where to write on "Forced circumcision of children"? and answer to the last question so that I can proceed further.

RfA pt.2
Hi Evergreen! Back in January we talked about the potential for you running at RfA, leading to an ORCP discussion and the conclusion that you would write some more content and consider again in a few months. I just wanted to check in to see how you thought about it now. I notice you've written a few more articles, and while none of them are GAs I haven't found that to be an issue provided a candidate has shown they could write a GA through their other content work. Let me know what your thoughts are - frankly I think you're over-qualified for the position and could do even better work here with the extra tools. I'd be happy to (co-)nominate you, and if we found another strong nomination I think you'd do fine. Sam Walton (talk) 11:24, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Rape of males Article
Is it possible for the suggested footnote to add the 1/71 penetrated rape stat with the 1/21 made to penetrate rape stat to get 1/16 chance of being raped? 1/(1/71+1/21) = 16.2
65.95.240.89 (talk) 00:04, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- @65.95.240.89: Do you have a good reliable source for the 1/21 statistic? I'm not sure about combining them, we could argue that it's WP:CALC but it would be best to have a source that specifies the combined rate. EvergreenFir (talk) 00:33, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
Yes I do: https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/NISVS-StateReportBook.pdf (Pages 25 and 26) The rate is now actually 1/17 or 5.9% for made to penetrate alone. And 1.5% for penetrated rape so 1/13 to 1/14 overall.

Reverted edit on Racism in the United States article.
I invite you to refute my sources or offer reliable sources that state the opposite. Many of my sources came from non-Jewish science sites. I put up all those sources for a reason. Sources are always more important than consensus. Please refute sources or I shall take it to a noticeboard. -Rainbowofpeace (talk) 08:31, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- An RFC might be a better route. But blogs are not reliable sources. EvergreenFir (talk) 08:36, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- Are you stating that every one of my sources are from a blog? That seems really presumptuous of you. I posted several I repeat several sources most of them are from science websites. My Sources include the BBC, Medical Press, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, the New York Post, Science Daily, Science Direct, New York Times and LA Times. Those are I'm almost certain reliable sources. My "questionable" sources which btw I never hid that they were questionable include Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, World Jewish Congress, Be'chol Leshan, Jews Down Under and Haaretz which are questionable because they are Jewish sources. However I have seen many people using sources from the ADL, ACLU and SPLC in naming hate groups even though they are clearly biased so I'm not sure whether we should disqualify a source just because it is Jewish. That leaves the sources that I included because I don't know yet if they are reliable sources including free yellow, Arch Hades (Which is a blog but focuses on Anthropology), Damien Marieanthrope (probably my least reliable source), rasch (I know nothing about rasch so I can't tell you whether or not its a reliable source) and Trinicenter (same problem as Rasch). The only opposing sources never stated that Jews weren't Middle Eastern they only didn't include them on a list of Middle Eastern peoples. The opposing source also has been accused of antisemitism multiple times. First off, I'm not using reliable sources in an article specifically but to judge its placement in said article. Secondly, the rules do not state that because I put some questionable sources that all my sources are automatically invalidated. Thirdly, you could easily have taken this to a noticeboard rather than revert my changes. I see no rules on wikipedia where community consensus goes above sources and as I have proven at least a quarter and possibly up to 3/4 of my sources are reliable. -Rainbowofpeace (talk) 09:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- There's clearly a debate about it. Consensus does matter and silence is the weakest form of consensus. To be most honest, I don't have a strong opinion on this. I just see a contentious topic without consensus. Perhaps your edit will initiate more discussion. Or a noticeboard post would work too. If you want, reinstate your edits boldly since you don't seem to be interested in edit warring (that's a good thing) if you think it will lead to resolution. EvergreenFir (talk) 09:10, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- Listen EvergreenFir, in spite of my possible tone towards you I actually do have a great amount of respect for you. Silence is the weekest form of consensus. I know that is part of wikipedias rules. However I don't want to wait around for weeks waiting for people to agree or disagree with a change in an article (I have done that several times). I know and as I pointed out have not tried to hide not all of my sources are rock-solid. The whole reason for posting them was for people to challenge them. I have been editing wikipedia for years but I still don't have a complete handle on what are reliable sources. For example does a University blog count as a reliable source if it is using professors of said topic, what about medical blogs put out by research hospitals, do sources that would normally be considered reliable become unreliable because they are too close to contentious topic? Are all biased sources necessarily not reliable? I think you misjudged my intentions with putting up the sources. It is a learning experience for me and since I wasn't actually using them in an article I thought it was beneficial to both the article and my learning. I still stand by my statement that at least some and possibly most of my sources were reliable so I think they should be challenged as a reliable source before they are taken down. I also want to thank you for all your previous edits on Wikipedia. I'm not sure you remember me but you left a great impression on me. -Rainbowofpeace (talk) 09:22, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

- @Mardon146: per Wikipedia policies, you cannot add entries that cannot be verified by reliable sources. The source must call the act terrorism. We, as editors, cannot claim it to be terrorism just because it was a diffuser bombing (see No Original Research). Editors adding list entries like this has been a persistent problem and has led to some editors being blocked. Please stop this behavior. If you have questions about a particular event, bring it up on the article's talk page. EvergreenFir (talk) 14:05, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
hi its me again
alright you removed an articles most of Articles came from iraqi news if this type of incident happend only in iraq i readed it it says The bomber blew himself up while between security personnel which was sucide attack and you say Removing unverified incident again its not good i also added a upper entry quetta attack in 2017 which was not even removed ops sorry its my fault i readed a message that you replied me sorry about that https://www.iraqinews.com/iraq-war/twelve-police-personnel-killed-injured-suicide-attack-south-mosul/
- The article says a person blew themselves up, but does not say the act was terrorism and does not say it was ISIL that did it. We cannot make those leaps, we can only say what the sources say. The list is about terrorism and
"incidents by violent non-state actors for political, religious, or ideological motives"
